1 WISCONSIN ALFALFA YIELD AND PERSISTENCE (WAYP) PROGRAM 2018 SUMMARY REPORT Program Objectives: 1. To verify the yield and quality of alfalfa harvested from production fields over the life of the stand beginning with the first production year (year after seeding). 2. To quantify decreases in stand productivity of alfalfa fields as they age Overview: This summary has now reached twelve years of project data. UW-Extension agents were asked to identify forage producers willing to weigh and sample forage from a 2017-seeded field and continue to do so for the life of the stand. A total of 14 new fields from 11 different farms were enrolled in the program in 2018 and 11 fields continued from previous years. Fields in Dane County were measured for the first time and several farms in Fond du Lac County rejoined the program. The current summary includes data for the first, second, third, and fourth production years from fields entered into the program in 2015 through 2018 ( seedings). There were two fourth-year stands remaining in the project, which are valuable for obtaining long-term data. As is always the case in these types of studies, there is some attrition of fields over time. This is either because the farmer decided to terminate the field because of winterkill, declining productivity or critical yield or forage quality data for a cutting or multiple cuttings could not be obtained. This year there were 5 fields dropped from the project that participated in Most of these were older stands and some likely experienced some winterkill the previous winter. Production data was collected from 25 fields in 2018 with a total of 5,613 dry matter tons of forage harvested, weighed, and sampled from 1,358 acres. Over 12 years, data was collected from 103 fields with a total of 58,252 dry matter tons of forage harvested, weighed, and sampled from 6,611 acres. A summary of all project fields (current and past) is presented in Table Weather The growing season overall was again marked by many extreme weather events. Very cold December temperatures with little snow cover followed by January rainfall and ice did not seem to hurt alfalfa. An April blizzard and below normal temperatures delayed spring greenup. Precipitation in southern Wisconsin was above normal and near record through most of the season. The central and eastern parts of the state were dry through much of summer and most of the state was above normal in late-august and September. Much of the state had normal or above normal temperatures through the growing season. This included several hot stretches in late May, June, and July. Fall weather was mostly cold and wet as alfalfa prepared for dormancy Weather The growing season overall was characterized by many extremes that ended up averaging out to a normal year. After a warm winter, the early season was generally cool and wet in most areas of the state. This led to delayed seeding as soils remained wet. Extreme winterkill was observed in NE Wisconsin counties where all 2 nd production year fields and four of six 3 rd year fields for this study were lost. This was regardless of a late fall cut being taken or not. First harvest timing was normal because spring growth was not as rapid as some previous years. Temperatures in June were generally near to above normal, while July and August were below normal. September and October were much above normal. Precipitation was variable, but generally wet until July and dry after. Some areas received very little rain in September. A very late killing frost allowed established stands and summer seeding time to recover and strengthen for the winter Weather The growing season overall was above average in terms of temperature and precipitation in most areas of the state. Similar to previous years, this varied across the state and though the season. Many areas had normal temperatures with dry conditions in early spring, leading to quick greenup, rapid growth, and an early first cut. However, by early June, regular and sometimes flooding rains started and persisted through the summer. This made timely harvest and drydown challenging. First cutting again varied widely with some fields being
2 harvested the week before Memorial Day at high quality and others being delayed two weeks or more. Despite the wet weather and flooding, the southern part of the state stayed extremely dry through much of the summer. Late summer and autumn saw above average temperature and rainfall. Many fields were not harvested after mid-late August because of wet field conditions or the producers did not need additional forage. These stands had better than normal fall growth and went into the fall looking good. New seedings had a tough year. Planting was generally timely, but cool and dry conditions in early May slowed growth and allowed disease to thin stands. Wet fields, especially those with previous tillage, had noticeable wheel traffic damage Weather The growing season overall was very close to normal in terms of temperature and precipitation for many areas. Some areas were cooler and drier in early summer, but this balanced out in late summer. September was the warmest on record for many places. Significant winterkill and heaving affected eastern and central areas of the state. The spring was mostly dry and warm, which resulted in timely planting and rapid alfalfa growth in May. First cutting varied widely with many fields being harvested the week before Memorial Day at high quality and others being delayed one to two weeks because of heavy rains that started on Memorial Day weekend. Some of these delayed fields caught up and still had four cuts while other only had three. Many stands had good fall growth and went into the fall looking good. Table 1.

Forage yield from an entire project field was weighed (usually this was done with an on-farm drive-over scale). Both empty and full weights for all trucks/wagons used were recorded. Beginning in 2008, two forage samples from each harvest were taken and submitted to the Marshfield Soil and Forage Analysis Laboratory (only one sample was submitted per harvest in 2007) for NIR analysis. Data from the two forage samples was averaged and recorded into a spreadsheet by the local coordinator. The data was then shared with the producer following each harvest. At the end of the season, all data was collected and summarized for this report. Harvest Schedules: Mean cutting dates by year are presented in Table 2 and cutting dates for all project fields harvested in 2018 are presented in Table 3. The 2018 season was marked by near average harvest dates for the first three cuts (Table 2). The average date of each cut was within 2 days of the twelve-year average. However, fourth cut was five days later than average because of heavy rains in late August and September. Average first-cut date has ranged from May 16 in 2012 to June 10 in Regardless of first-cut date, the average fourth-cut date is generally within a week of September 1, with the exception of a few extreme weather years. The large majority of fields in this study and in 2018 were cut four times. Across years and sites, 26 fields were cut three times, 182 fields were cut four times (generally prior to or soon after September 1), and 23 fields were cut five times (generally four times before September 1 with a final cut in October). First cut occurred over a 19 day range (May 24 to June 10) which matches the average (Table 3). Typically, first cut occurred over 19 days because of varying location and weather, but ranged from 13 in 2007 to 45 in Fifteen of the fields were cut the last week on May and ten were first-cut in June. Throughout the season, 4
5 cutting date was affected by weather and individual producer s decisions, contributing to wider ranges in subsequent cuttings. Only one field was cut 3 times this year and one was cut 5 times. The average days between cutting for 4-cut fields was 1 st to 2 nd - 28, 2 nd to 3 rd - 30, and 3 rd to 4 th Third cut was later in some fields that were very dry weather in July and fourth cut was generally delayed by wet weather in late summer.

Harvest dry matter data from the dry hay harvests was not included in the forage dry matter data means. Although project participants are not asked about storage structure, there is good reason to believe most of the farms are storing this forage in bunkers, piles, or bags. Throughout the duration of this project total season dry matter percentage of harvested forage has ranged from 40 to 50% (Figure 1), though individual cuttings and total-season field means sometimes exceeded 50%, especially later in the season. It s been questioned if this is too dry for obtaining optimum storage porosity in a bunker or pile. The trend has been toward higher dry matter percentages in recent years. For 2018 the average season dry matter was 45%, matching the long-term average, and ranged from 38 to 66%. Three fields finished the season with total-season dry matter means under 40% and two fields were above 50%. This was attributed to environmental conditions. First cut tends be harvested at a lower dry matter than other cuts. This is likely because drying weather improves through the season. First and fourth were slightly below average while second and third were slightly above. The one field harvested a fifth time was much below, likely due to a narrow harvest window. Figure 1. Average dry matter of harvested forage by cutting and as a weighted average for the total season ( ). Total Season Range for individual fields: 2007 (n=8): 49.8% 42% - 54% DM 2008 (n=16): 47.1% 37% - 54% DM 2009 (n=23): 48.8% 38% - 59% DM 2010 (n=23): 48.8% 37% - 55% DM 2011 (n=21): 44.6% 35% - 52% DM 2012 (n=16): 46.6% 40% - 51% DM 2013 (n=13): 39.7% 33% - 43% DM 2014 (n=24): 42.7% 34% - 56 % DM 2015 (n=23):42.0% 31% - 51% DM 2016 (n=26): 43.6% 36% - 50% DM 2017 (n=16): 43.8% 32% - 52% DM 2018 (n=25): 45.2% 38% - 66% DM Forage Dry Matter Yield: Average yield by cutting and for the season in each project year are presented in Figure 2. The highest average dry matter yields of just over 5.0 tons per acre were obtained in 2007 and A record low total-season dry matter yield average was set in 2013 at 3.7 tons per acre. The average yield across all fields was 4.39 tons per acre in 2018, nearly identical to the twelve-year average of 4.41 tons per acre. This yield was also nearly identical to 2008 and 2014, both which were wetter years. First-cut yield of 1.43 tons per acre was below average. This is likely because of delayed green up in April due 6
7 to cold temperatures and snowstorms. Other cut yields were at or slightly above average. The five-cut field was the highest seen in the study at 0.83 tons dm/a. Detailed yield data for each field by year are presented in Appendix A. Once again there was extreme variation between fields in 2018 (Figure 3). Yields ranged from a high of 5.69 to a low of 3.10 tons per acre. No fields exceeded 6.0 tons per acre which is the benchmark for top yields in the study having only been reached 10 times over 12 years. The highest yielding field since the project s inception was 6.55 tons per acre in No fields were below 3.0 tons per acre in That level has only been reached by 12 fields in 12 years (Appendix A).

8 Figure 3. Number of 2018 fields at various total season dry matter yield levels (n=25) Alfalfa Persistence: In-season: An analysis was done to determine the percent of total season yield for each cutting (Table 4). Data was summarized for 3-, 4-, and 5-cut systems for all project years. Five-cut fields were also included in the 4-cut summary with the final fall harvest not included in the total season yield. It s significant to note the wide variation in percent yield for an individual cutting. In some cases this is the result of environmental conditions (e.g. drought) previous to the harvest while in other situations it s simply a function of cutting date (Tables 2 and 3). The cut fields in 2018 had slightly less proportion of yield in the 1st cut than average. The fields cut three times or five times (one each) also had a lower proportion of 1st cut yield than the long-term mean. Table 4.

9 Between years: Persistence is influenced over time by the age of the stand, cutting schedule, and environment. For this project, persistence is being measured as a percent of 1 st production year dry matter yield. Persistence data in Table 5 consists of 2006 through 2016-seeded fields and is averaged over all cutting schedules. Although ranges indicate a wide variation, average forage yield in the 2 nd (103%) and 3 rd (98%) production year have been comparable to the 1 st production year. The yield for 4 th -year stands drops to 80% of the 1 st - production year. To date it appears that keeping stands for at least three production years seems to be the prudent decision, but the condition and productivity of individual fields are the most important factors in determining when to rotate to a different crop. The numbers could also be somewhat misleading because not all fields are kept for a full 3- or 4-year production cycle. Those that are removed earlier at the producer s discretion no longer generate data which would result in lower averages. Therefore this should be viewed as data from fields that producer s judge good enough to keep. Table 5. Percent of 1 st production year yield by cutting and total season for 2 nd, 3 rd, and 4 th production year stands. ( ) 2 nd Production Year Stands (n=72 site years) 1st cut 2nd cut 3rd cut 4th cut Season Mean Low High rd Production Year Stands (n=45 site years) 1st cut 2nd cut 3rd cut 4th cut Season Mean Low High th Production Year Stands (n=15 site years) 1st cut 2nd cut 3rd cut 4th cut Season Mean Low High Forage Quality: Forage quality, although extremely important, is not the primary focus of this project. However, it is impossible to evaluate changes in management to maximize yield and persistence without considering the impact on forage quality. Harvested forage quality (Figure 8) continued to improve in 2018 and was above average for the season for the first time since Results of the first 4 cuts ranged from 162 to 180 which matched the trial averages (162 to 181). However, the cut averages were reversed from expectations. Usually cut 1 and cut 4 have better quality because of a cooler growing season than mid-summer cuts. Adverse growing and harvest conditions early and late with generally dry weather in between led to the mid-season cuts having better quality. Top 3 RFQ values in cut 2 and cut 3, combined with a lower proportion of total yield from cut 1 led to above average season RFQ. Cut 4 RFQ was the second lowest observed, ahead of only Other notable forage quality results from 2018 included: Season crude protein percent was similar to the long-term average (Figure 4). Season CP increased from the record low set in 2017 and stopped a trend of four years of decreasing values. Cut 1 was the third lowest after 2016 and 2017 and cut 4 and cut 5 were each the second lowest after Cut 2 was the third highest after 2008 and
10 NDF percent was above average and the second highest seen for cut 1 and cut 4 (Figure 5). Other cuts were below average, but the total season was slightly above. Season NDF decreased from the record high set in 2017 and stopped a trend of five years of increasing values. NDFD percent was above average for all cuts (Figure 6). Cut 2 tied the record from 2017 and cut 5 was the record high. Other cuts were top 3 (Figure 7) and the season total was second behind This is the fifth straight year with good NDFD levels. Three fields planted to reduced-lignin varieties have some influence, but weather and harvest timing are more likely factors. Milk/Ton was above average for all cuts except cut 4 (Figure 9). Cut 2 and total season set new high marks. The 2018 season average of 3,020 lbs/tn slightly bests the 3,015 lbs/tn observed in This is the fifth straight year with increasing milk/ton levels. Crude protein, NDF, and RFQ changes were tracked during 1 st crop harvest since 2015 (Figures 10-12). Alfalfa had a shorter growth window in 2018 followed by hot weather in late May. A regression shows that crude protein dropped 0.22%/day, similar to % in previous years and the expected change of -0.25%/day. NDF increased 0.78%/day, greater than % in previous years and the expected change of +0.41%/day. RFQ decreased 4.7 points/day, well above points in previous years, but similar to -4 to -5/day expected. Figure 4.

Summary: The Wisconsin Alfalfa Yield and Persistence Program is designed to provide forage growers and agricultural professionals a unique look at what is happening at the farm level. As more fields are entered and years pass, the reliability of information continues to increase. Three fields were planted to reduced-lignin varieties in It will be interesting to see if results change as more reduced-lignin varieties are used by producers. Environmental conditions have had a profound influence on both yield and quality with years being similar, but no two years being exactly alike.
